Abstract: Track-aligned extents (traxtents') utilize disk-specific knowledge to match access patterns to the strengths of 0.8 modern disks. By allocating and accessing related data on disk track boundaries, a system can avoid most ro- 0.6 tational latency and track crossing overheads. Avoiding these overheads can increase disk access efficiency by up 0.4 to 50% for mid-sized requests (100-500 KB). This paper c describes traxtents, algorithms for detecting track bound- 0.2 aries, and some uses of... (Update)
